CalDAV How-To
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
As from OpenERP v6.0, document_webdav v2.2, the iPhone has been thoroughly
|
|
tested and supported as a Calendaring client for the OpenERP CalDAV module.
|
|
|
|
However, keep in mind that OpenERP is not a straightforward calendaring
|
|
server, but an ERP application (with more data + structure) which exposes
|
|
that data to calendar clients. That said, the full features that would be
|
|
accessible through the Gtk or Web OpenERP clients cannot be crammed into
|
|
the Calendar clients (such as the iPhone).
|
|
|
|
OpenERP server Setup
|
|
--------------------
|
|
Some modules need to be installed at the OpenERP server. These are:
|
|
- caldav: Required, has the reference setup and the necessary
|
|
underlying code. Will also cause document, document_webdav
|
|
to be installed.
|
|
- crm_caldav: Optional, will export the CRM Meetings as a calendar.
|
|
|
|
These will also install a reference setup of the folders, ready to go.
|
|
The administrator of OpenERP can add more calendars and structure, if
|
|
needed.
|
|
|
|
DNS server setup
|
|

|
To be documented.

|
|
|
SSL setup
|
|
----------
|
|
It is highly advisable that you also setup SSL to work for the OpenERP
|
|
server. HTTPS is a server-wide feature in OpenERP, which means a
|
|
certificate will be set at the openerp-server.conf and will be the same
|
|
for XML-RPC, HTTP, WebDAV and CalDAV.
|
|
The iPhone also supports secure connections with SSL, although it does
|
|
not expect a self-signed certificate (or one that is not verified by
|
|
one of the "big" certificate authorities [1] ).
|

|
[1] I remember one guy that made *lots* of money selling his CA business
|
|
off, and since then uses this money to create a software monopoly.
